Technological scanning refers to the managed acquisition, analysis, and diffusion of IT novelty by members of the IS department to increase the competitiveness of the firm (Julien et al., 1999). As new IT innovations appear in the market on a regular basis, practitioners and researchers must maintain an awareness of each other’s efforts (Boynton and Zmud, 1987). Organizations competent in this regard are those in which members are able to keep upto-date on the latest technologies and have sufficient strategic knowledge and technical skills to make the best possible IT investments for their firm (Croteau and Bergeron, 2001).
